Trappatoni puts the journos in their place

Classic stuff from el vecchio Trap midweek. The journalists were asking about Chris McCann and Fahey getting a place in the squad.

"Did they not have a case for inclusion? “You knows these players?” he asked his questioner.

“Yes.”

“Chris McCann? Which position would you play him in?”

“Centre midfield or on the left.”

“How many games have you seen these players? McCann, against Manchester United, he touched the ball four times in 90 minutes. Did you see the game?”

“Yes.”

“I saw the game two times. Maybe we look at it together? I am not focusing on him in particular, but this player, for example, does not have the same qualities or characteristics as, say, (Glenn) Whelan, (Keith) Andrews, Gibson, Reid or Miller"

Aye, and how many titles have the assembled press corps won. Zero. Trap has us in the shake down for a place at the WC, with a completely average squad. Let him get on with it.
